I've never tried growing duckweed so i bought some from ebay to try and threw it in my tank and it smells horrible. from what i have been reading that's what it's suppose to smell like but i'm wondering if duckweed is good for my firebelly newts or should i remove it? i'm really dissapointed with it. i thought it was a clean plant.
 
I've never noticed any smell from duckweed. It seems very clean to me.

Any plant received by mail should be rinsed well, and perhaps even kept in quarantine for a few days, before throwing it into the tank. I'm thinking that it may have developed some bacterial growth or decay during transit.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
